Getting
Started - Prevention
An
ounce of prevention…
A
common mistake people make with new kittens is
allowing bad
habits to form.
Instruct your kitten by praising what's right and interrupting
what's wrong. Provide constant supervision indoors until ALL house rules
are learned. Keep your kitten in a small kitten-proof room when you
can't supervise.
Provide for your kitten's basic feline needs like scratching and
stretching, prey play, companionship, exploration, and
affection. Gently teach and guide behaviors that help your
kitten learn your house rules.
Prevent your
kitten from scratching furniture by covering it with saran wrap
or foil when you are not watching.
Shape your ideal kitten personality by encouraging confident, relaxed, friendly behaviors.
Teach your kitten by reinforcing all desirable behaviors with extra loving attention, affection, and treats.
